Ensuring that persons with diminished autonomy are protected. Determining that the study has a maximization of benefits and a minimization of risks.

Answer 1

Answer: the correct answer is determining that the study has a maximization of benefits and a minimization of risks.

Explanation: this principle is very similar to what is applied in the business world which is the maximization of profits and minimization of costs. In this case the maximization of profits is the maximization of benefits that the study can render and the minimization of risks is prevalent because we are dealing with human beings.
